Khanifa Afandieva is a young entrepreneur from the village of Khuldara in Marneuli Municipality. For the well-being of her family and the community, Khanifa, along with two other women from her community, participated in a UN Women-supported economic empowerment project and opened a bakery where they bake Azerbaijanian “Lavashi” and sell it to residents of Khuldara and its nearby villages. The bakery business was very successful for women therefore they were also able to employ other local women.
